C75 don't know what going on there it's just opened for me. You can enter on the night at the Joey Dunlop Centre from 5.00pm. There was no online entries for this race. See you Friday.

HMM I went to training last night and was so tired I wasn't going to bother running. 500m x 8 1 min recovery ran the first 6 then blasted the last 2, 20secs faster than the first 6. I got a good nights sleep last night and will make my decision of Friday morning.

Ran a hilly 9 miler at a perceived effort I felt comfortable with for completing 13.1 - surprised to average 8:40 m/mls for the run and at the end felt like I could have run another 4 at the same pace. (I know I shouldnt run at race pace but its all in the head for me - I like to know what I am capable of come race day!)

That's 1 full m/ml faster than I ran at Lisburn - what a difference a month makes! However I'll not too excited until I have completed Cookstown - bit of a killer by all accounts.Other than Reiki - anyone else entered for Sunday?

I had to stop running all together with my knees giving me trouble, then gradually reintroduce it, just jogging for a few moments now and again on my walks. I'm not at about 25min of S L O W running at a time, with two days of rest between. I'm itching to put the garmin on again to see how far I'm going etc; but dare not to as I'll start trying to do better each time and end up injured again. Lots of stretching post run seem to help as well.

I've been avoiding here as I knew I'd end up pushing myself more and setting myself back again.

Hope everyone is well and enjoying their running/racing over our "summer". (I use the term "summer" loosely....)

Thanks Kenny for another good event from Springwell. Was good to see strong runs from our club including Rodney and som pbs. Also nice to catch up with the RW forumites. Ran below 35 which I'm v happy about esp after Dervock mara and still felt good. Last mile was 6.15.

Hope everyone else enjoyed it - now to get ready for my 3rd Seven Sevens

Glad you enjoyed it Reiki - thought it was a great course also! Not as bad as expected - hills were short & sharp in the most and a few showers during 2nd half were very welcome. Had a good run and felt very strong all race - and the first time don't feel stiff, sore or tired afterwards - in fact feel like I could go out and run it again (tomorrow morning will probably be a different story though)Managed 1:56 which I was very happy with and a 10min improvement on Lisburn just over a month ago.
